In the Czech Republic, the 2024 EP election was deeply polarised between an unpopular, mostly centre-right (but heterogeneous) governing coalition and various components of the opposition, ranging from the far-left to the far-right and dominated by the populist ANO movement. It also reflected the deep-rooted Euroscepticism of a large part of the Czech population. Turnout was the highest ever for an EP election, but still well below the EU average. Although the governing parties did not lose as badly as in some other member states, the election was mainly a success for the opposition: for ANO, for whom it seems to be a further shift towards hard Euroscepticism and illiberalism, but also for some extra-parliamentary hard Eurosceptic parties. For its part, the parliamentary far right had a rather disappointing result. Thus, the presence of Czech MEPs from the mainstream political groups in the new European Parliament is unprecedentedly low.
